Chapter 788 788: Forgotten Child

The Emperor's head rolled to the side after falling on the ground. Still, his body remained standing.

The feet of the statue were painted red by the blood of the Emperor. The blood was slowly absorbed by the statue.

At the very same moment, the severed head of the Emperor disintegrated into dust, disappearing from sight.

Astonishingly, a new head appeared on the Emperor's body, presenting a grotesque and surreal spectacle.

The new head had a sinister look, with hollow eyes that seemed to pierce through anyone who dared to look into them. Fortunately the sight didn't last for long as the healing process was soon complete.

After the Emperor had healed, he went down on one knee, as if paying respect to the statue of the Archangel, the one they all originated from.

"Father, your child comes to greet you and ask for your advice."

The Statue remained still, but its eyes moved, as if coming to live.

"The forgotten child returns..." Only one sentence came from the statue in response before the Emperor could even ask a question.

"The Forgotten Child?" The Emperor raided his head, not understanding what that meant.

"Father, your child doesn't understand. Please enlighten me," He stated.

Unfortunately, the light in the eyes of the statue had already started dimming.

"Father?" The Emperor called out. Unfortunately, the eyes of the Statue had completely stopped shining by now as it returned to the scary silence of the past.

The Emperor was left with a sense of unease and curiosity as he stared at the lifeless statue. The only reason he came here was to ask about this strange chaotic disturbance in the worldly laws, along with the feeling of unease in his heart.

He thought that after coming here, he might be able to get answers. He truly expected to get some clarity. Unfortunately, instead of clarity, he only received more confusion.

"The Forgotten Child has returned?" He stood up, his expressions filled with confusion.

Although he didn't understand what it meant, but he had a feeling that it involved something important. Usually, the statue only answered all questions in a single word.

In the past, he could ask one question and get a yes or no answer after coming here. But this time, he couldn't even ask before the statue answered on its own. It was the first time something like this had happened.

Although he didn't know what it meant, but he couldn't let it go. Previously, he wasn't going to check himself. But this time, things had become much more complicated.

He left the temple, his long robe swaying in the gentle breeze as he made his way through the hallway.

The Shadow Guards once again appeared behind him, accompanying their Emperor.

Unlike before, the Emperor didn't remain silent.

"I am going out. You shall deliver my message to Aleron," he commanded. "Tell him to go to the Royal Library and find out everything related to the Forgotten Child."

The Guards didn't ask any more than the Emperor had already told them, despite their curiosity.

The Emperor walked through the long hallway. Space before him started becoming unstable as the small jade embedded in one of his rings started shining in a beautiful white light.

Before long, the space before him completely broke apart, creating multiple spatial cracks. There appeared to be a total of hundred spatial cracks.

The Emperor ventured into a spatial crack among the numerous rifts, vanishing amidst the unpredictable surge of spatial energy.

Surprisingly, he entered alone, not accompanied by any Guards. Even the shadow Guards refrained from joining him, as they did not dare to do so without his permission.

The Spatial Crack led the Emperor to the Fortress City that was closest to the forest where his sister was supposed to be.

Since he only had a rough estimate of the cause of the commotion, the Fortress City was the closest he could get, especially since the worldly laws were in shambles closest to the core of commotion.

He appeared near the wall of the Fortress City. Before the others in the fortress could even react to his presence, the Emperor flew towards the fortress, his speed even breaking the threshold of Teleportation.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside the Forest where everything supposedly began. When he reached near the forest, he became even more certain that this place was the cause of it all.

The first thing he noticed was that the barrier was completely shattered and a multitude of energy traces could be felt, mostly an unfamiliar and disgusting aura could also be felt by him.

The Emperor soon landed inside the Forest. Half the forest was completely destroyed. Most of the trees that were harder than the hardest of metals of this world had completely disintegrated.

A large crater could also be seen in the center of the place. The Emperor frowned at the sight before him. Strangely enough, he couldn't feel any presence.

It was as if the person who caused it all had completely disappeared. But what concerned him even more was that he couldn't feel the aura of his sister either.

Although his sister was weaker than him and his shadow Guards, but it didn't make sense for her to disappear like that. Moreover with her immortality, it was impossible for her to be killed.

His first thought was that his sister was kidnapped, which made him even more concerned about the identity of the threat.

Unfortunately, he soon realized that his prediction wasn't quite correct. As he traveled further, his expressions turned dark. He almost felt like vomiting. n).o((V)/e//l/.b/)I./n

Although he had gone through a lot of torture during his training, but the sight before him still left him feel what he never felt before.

Not far from him, he saw a hand... Just one hand and that hand belonged to someone he knew all too well. It was the hand of his sister, but that hand wasn't all.
